Installation

It is highly recommended to use shadowdctl to install Shadow Daemon.
If this is not an option you can also compile shadowd yourself.
Be aware though that it is much more work to install shadowd from source.

Dependencies

The server is written in C++. To compile it on a Unix-like system you need the following tools.

Compilation

If cmake is successful it creates a makefile.
Use it to compile and install the project.

make shadowd
make install

Autostart

If you compile shadowd from source it will not start automatically on boot, so you will have to set up the autostart manually as well.
How exactly this is done depends on your operating system.
You can find init scripts for the most common Linux distributions in the packaging repository.

It is recommended to not run shadowd with root privileges, so you should add a new user and group.
